Serve immediately with a Greek Salad

Greek Salad Dressing

2 Tablespoon extra virgin olive oil (per person)
2 tsp red wine vinegar or balsamic vinegar
a dash of dry oregano
1/2 fresh lemon juice
Dash Sea salt

In a bowl, whisk the extra virgin olive oil and red wine vinegar or balsamic vinegar (which my favorite is the balsamic vinegar), lemon, sea salt, and dry oregano. Put in a small jar and shake it again I love to dip sourdough bread into the leftover dressing. It’s yummy and healthy.

Ingredients
2 salmon fillets
1 cup of flour (I use almond flour) for dredging

Preparation: Season both sides of salmon well with salt and pepper. In a shallow dish, add the flour. Dredge salmon and shake off excess.

In a large skillet, melt butter and oil together over medium-high heat. Add salmon, skin side down, and sauté for 4 minutes on each side, or until the salmon is done to your liking. Transfer salmon to a plate and set aside.

Add garlic to the pan and sauté for about one minute. Add white wine and bring to a boil while scraping off the bits on the bottom of the pan. Add stock or broth, plus lemon juice and continue to cook.

Combine cornstarch and 2 tbsp of broth in a bowl and stir to dissolve any clumps..Pour mixture into the pan, stirring for about a minute or until thickened. Add cream and stir. Add capers and rosemary and return salmon to pan. Garnish with lemons, capers and herbs and happy eating!
